So would it be a valid approach to bundle a free and open email client with OOo? On the same media, in the same download file set?
It would be valid. It would not be preferred. There are already too many complaints from incomplete downloads of the current largish binaries. As well, there are endless requests from users asking to download individual components because getting the entire suite takes too long. It would be all right to provide another package with a mailer, as long as the package w/o the mailer continues to be available. However, that might be too much of a burden on the packagers. The best solution mentioned yet on the list is the idea of having OOo pick an already installed mailer during install time. Second best would be to provide a mention in the readme and a link to a place to download TBird [or whatever client is chosen].
